Directions
-
Place the quartered red-skinned potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt to the water.
-
Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are just tender when pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.
-
Drain the potatoes well and spread them out on a baking sheet or large plate to cool slightly so they are not steaming hot.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the plain yogurt, mayonnaise, minced fresh dill, red wine vinegar, black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt until smooth.
-
Add the cooled potatoes to the dressing mixture. Gently toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
-
Stir in the finely diced red onions. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
-
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving.
